Oaky-dokey!

I'm ready for some fall color...how about you?

A Morning Run

We posted a running photo on Sunday, and a foggy photo on Monday... why not combine the two and post a foggy running photo today?

This was the mini race at the Whatcom Race for Education on Saturday, for kindergarten through second-grade only. I would never be tacky enough to brag about my kindergartner, who beat out quite a few older kids to come in second place, but... oh, who am I kidding? Of course I'm that tacky!

The Fog

I know fall is here when the fogs start rolling in.

Whatcom Race for Education

Over 200 participants ran the 5k Race for Education at Civic Field,
which raises money for kids in our community.

Leaves of Grass

I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the stars.

Skywatch Friday: Bellingham Marina Sunset

Do you think they meant to dress alike?

Rope-Walking at Taylor Dock

This enterprising young man and his friends strung a rope across a section of Taylor Dock and worked on their balancing act over the water last week. No one made it across while I was watching, but I think plunging into the bay was all part of the fun anyway.

Where Summer Feet Stepped

the ground flutters orange and yellow
the sweet, musky scent of finished lives
rising from the leaves

Paddling at Pattle Point

Kayakers in front of the Pattle Point Trestle. The boulder in front of the trestle is actually a giant hunk of metal, leftover from Bellingham's cannery days.
